“Let it be free, but control it to keep this part out.”
That’s literally what you’re experiencing. You get to witness the flaw in the part where you don’t get to pick the entity that decides which content doesn’t belong.

The less you give to Google, the better.
- Comment on Uptick in inflammatory posts 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s an uptick, it’s been around for as long as I’ve used the Fediverse.
I’ve never understood the mindset that this social site is made up of a different mix of personalities than any other. It’s not. There’s very nice people here and there’s very mean people here. Often, the very nice are quiet so you won’t always notice them but the meanest are usually very outspoken and everyone comes across something left by them. Hatred, ignorance and toxicity is not something that’s left at the door of the fediverse.

- Comment on Got my first script kiddy 1 month ago:
It wasn’t a script kiddy. It wasn’t even a human. You are going to be a very busy individual if you decide to report every port scan you find.

- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 months ago:
I’m trying to work through Death Stranding right now. I’ve started it 3 or 4 times but I’ve gotten farther this time than any of the past attempts. I’m definitely playing care-bear(no aggro, mostly) but the world is very interesting.

Thank you!

It sounds like you’ve found some games you like but are turned off of by some difficulty bottlenecks. If that’s the case, conhttps://www.wemod.com/. It’s a trainer for a ton of games that allow you to “cheat” in singleplayer games(god mode, speed hacks, etc.)
A still love playing games but as I get older, my tremors get worse, making it impossible for me to get through one on my own. WeMod allows me to explore all of the game world without being stopped by something as simple as clicking on something quickly.

- Comment on It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed? 2 months ago:
I know it’s very popular for the doomsayers to propose but time will tell and I’m guessing we’ll have another election or two. Perhaps even three.
Four’s not out of the question.
- Comment on It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed? 2 months ago:
I suspect you’re going to get mostly sarcasm and mockery tropes but there have always been countries that have allied themselves with American interests. When you say “when help when needed”, if you’re thinking of an actual war on home turf, invasion or something similar, that’s unlikely to ever happen due to our geographical position. If you mean financial help, we take loans from a lot of different countries. If you’re asking about assistance when we engage in war elsewhere, again, that would be all the allied nations.
Militarily speaking, the US is still one of the superpowers just because of the mind-boggling amount of money we spend on it. There’s not many countries that can compete with just the sheer number of US things that are designed to go boom.
Things like goodwill and assistance are currently in a downward transitional trend due to the current administration. It seems a lot of countries feel ostracized by the US due to Trump’s constant foolish and often hostile actions towards them but these types of things follow an ebb and flow, the next administration to reside in office will begin the process of patching things up and relationships will improve.

I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.

Everyone in France already subbed to VPNs for the pornhub block. This won’t even result in a traffic hiccup.
